Homecoming 2025: Painting Restoration & Dedication Service
Advertisement
Do you like American art? How about European art? Are you interested in the lives of the German Reformed immigrants who settled SW PA? Hills Church has embarked on a year long journey to restore our 100 year old sanctuary artwork. We've been working with restorationists from Fine Art Conservationits from Pittsburgh. Roasted chicken and drinks will be provided for the lunch reception after the service. You are invited to bring a side dish to pass.

He earned a Masters in Art Conservation from Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario in 2000 and has held advanced training positions at the Museum of Modern Art, the Williamstown Art Conservation Center and the National Gallery of Art.

Michael has worked on a broad range of different types of objects and materials, from renaissance-era polychrome terracotta busts and monumental painted aluminum mobiles to ornate papier maché pianos and the collections of the Baseball Hall of Fame.
